HO Scale Model Train Diesel Locomotive

Kato #KAT376101. The General Electic P42 locomotive is also known as the "Genesis" locomotive. The P42 is a modern 4200 horsepower passenger locomotive used across the United States and Canada. Amtrak's P42 has replaced the EMD F40PH in revenue service and today they are used throughout the United States. Since their introduction, they have had a number of physical revisions to improve the ease of maintenance and parts replacements, including a bolt-on fiberglass nose panel (replacing the original's solid metal which was difficult to repair or replace) and a new headlight bezel that is more rounded than the previous square versions.

Kato #KAT1765315. The "City of Los Angeles" was one of the Union Pacific's "City of" trains, and a direct competitor to trains such as the California Zephyr and Santa Fe Super Chief, and was typically pulled by four E9's in ABBA formation. EMD's bulldog-nosed E9 locomotives were ideal for passenger service due to their smooth ride and higher horsepower compared to other passenger locomotives such as EMD's own F3 and F7 locomotives.

Kato #KAT1761121. Being long lived units, Santa Fe's F3's were continuously being upgraded, with late era revisions having their distinctive chicken wire grills replaced by the stainless steel grills that EMD was fitting on their newer F7 productions. These F3's ended up looking remarkably similar to their later built F7 cousins, though they still retained their early style roof fans.

Kato #KAT1768410. The SD70ACe is the latest in the line of EMD's "70" locomotives, an evolution of the SD70MAC, although its radiator design harkens more to that of the SD80/90 body. The SD70ACe has been designed to fit the latest EPA standards and regulations, and sports 4300 horsepower.

The "City of Los Angeles" was one of the Union Pacific's "City of" trains, and a direct competitor to trains such as the California Zephyr and Santa Fe Super Chief, and was typically pulled by four E9's in ABBA formation. EMD's bulldog-nosed E9 locomotives were ideal for passenger service due to their smooth ride and higher horsepower compared to other passenger locomotives such as EMD's own F3 and F7 locomotives.

HO Scale Model Train Diesel Locomotive

Kato #KAT376582. Designed for use in Amtrak's inner-city lines, the F40PH series of locomotives was ordered as a replacement for the EMD SDP40F type, Amtrak's first series of locomotives built new for them since its inception in 1971. Following updates in federal regulations in 1997, Amtrak's fleet of F40PH locomotives were upgraded with ditch lights (low mounted headlamps that help alert street and walking traffic to the presence of oncoming locomotives at grade crossings), which this particular model replicates.

Kato #KAT1764818. As a prototype, the SD40-2 was the most popular second-generation diesel with sales of over 3000 in the U.S. and more than 700 in Canada. There were many variations of this popular diesel because of the long production run - Early units featured an 81 nose, chicken wire grills and a ratchet brake vs. a brake wheel that would be found on later units. C&NW #6847 and #6858 would carry the as delivered paint scheme that adorns them through their entire operational life, with #6847 remaining operational to this day at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union, IL.

HO Scale Model Train Diesel Locomotive

Kato #KAT376390. While originally designed to house a 6000hp engine, technical difficulties resulted in many SD90MAC's being equipped with a 4300hp engine instead, which gave them the designation SD90/43MAC. The locomotives were reliable and effective enough with these engines that though the option to upgrade was given, most locomotives kept the as-shipped 4300hp AC traction engine.

Kato #KAT1766023. 2011 marked the 40th anniversary of Amtrak  to commemorate this historic birthday, Amtrak painted a number of its locomotives into a series of anniversary schemes, each taking design cues from a different paint and logo era from the railroad's history. P42 locomotive #66 is painted in a phase II heritage scheme that marked the first use of the red, white, and blue stripes that has influenced every paint scheme since.

Kato #KAT1768507. The SD70ACe is the latest in the line of EMD's "70" locomotives that is intended to cut railroad costs for maintenance by providing a locomotive that is more efficient and more powerful, lessening fuel costs and the total numbers of running units. The Norfolk Southern's fleet of SD70ACe's have a number of redesigns from the as delivered Union Pacific units, including isolated cabs (identifiable by the visible angled seam running 45 degrees up and along the side of the cab) and specialized antenna arrangements on the cab roof.
